Thoughts on the creative process, quilting, fabrics, and living life in the Southern U.S.A.

Back in the studio....

This week I finally sat down at the sewing machine again! For the past few weeks my quilting has been limited to perusing magazines and cruising blogs. It was just too difficult to focus with a sick husband, a sick dog, and a sick me.

But things are getting better! My DH went to the office for a few hours the past couple days which allowed me a bit of time to try and get things back to normal. Still a ways to go but I did finish his birthday quilt top...now I remember why I don't make a lot of king size quilts! Putting borders on them is brutal!

Today I even got to slip out for a quilt bee with my quilt. One of the members brought a box. It belonged to a friend's grandmother and she asked her to make something with the pieces.

Isn't this piece of Alice and Wonderland fabric great!

Dating all of this is pretty easy...lots of paperwork with dates on it!
